Hello!
I have question about Audi A4 B5 tdi instrument clusters..Is it possible to change software so, that instrument cluster works in km/h instead of m/h (mph). I have UK cluster VDO, but I wanto to change the dial face and rewrite software..
Software is the same as " cluster dum", fore example, I need just rewrite 8D0920932FX to 93c86 and that it, every thing will work?
Or maybe there different software for spido gauge in MCU?
Tnx..
You don't need to change the software just recode (soft coding) it for the country, language, units, etc.... you need.
Take a look:
Soft Coding
There is a 5-digit cluster code that configures the behavior of the cluster. In VCDS, enter module 17-
Instruments and check the "Soft. Coding" field - this is the cluster coding. You can take this code with the
original cluster connected; and you will adapt the replacement cluster with the same code.
• Cluster soft code of OE (stock) cluster: 15332
• Cluster soft code for replacement cluster:
First two digits (equipment options):
(Add values of equipped sensors together to get final 2-digit code)
00 = No equipment coding
+01 = Brake wear sensor alarm equipped
+02 = Seatbelt warning equipped
+04 = Washer fluid warning equipped
+08 = Seatbelt warning active (NA only)
+10 = Seatbelt warning driver & passenger active (NA only)
+16 = Secondary display (Radio/Navigation) active
15 = 01+04+10; Cluster MIL will display if any of the equipped sensors are tripped.
Third digit (region):
1 = ECE - 24hr clock, km, litres, Celsius, German default
2 = USA - 12hr clock, miles, gallons, Fahrenheit, English default
3 = Canada/Mexico/Latin America - 12hr clock, km, litres, Celsius, English default
4 = UK - 24hr clock, miles, UK gallons, Celsius, English default
5 = Japan
6 = Saudi Arabia
7 = Australia
Fourth digit (service intervals):
0 = fixed service intervals without oil sensor
1 = flexible service intervals with oil sensor
2 = fixed service intervals with oil sensor
3 = vehicles without service interval display (USA, Canada)
Note: Ross-Tech indicates that the following are also valid for the fourth digit, but I do not know what
they do differently:
4 = four-cylinder engine
6 = six-cylinder engine
Fifth digit (distance impulse number, K-value):
0 = All Engines/Transmissions (Impulse via CAN)
1 = 4345 Impulses/km
2 = 3528 Impulses/km (all other engines/transmissions)
3 = 4134 Impulses/km
4 = 3648 Impulses/km (engines with 5-speed automatic transmission)
Changing Languages
With VCDS, enter module 17-Instruments, select Adaptation (10), and update Channel 04 with one of the
following numbers:
00001 German
00002 English
00003 French
00004 Italian
00005 Spanish
00006 Portuguese
00008 Czech
